Olympian titleholders spanning 38 years The world's greatest physique. The best developed man alive. The top body on Earth. A modern superhero. Whatever the choice of words, these descriptions are all better known by a single title: Mr. Olympia.   The legends who make up the exclusive Olympia club are magnificent champs from all over the world, who triumphed over the greatest physiques of their day. While the current Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman has firmly earned his place in this group, this year he'll be pushed again by his hungry competition. Will a new champ emerge in the 2003 Olympia? We'll see, but in the meantime, let's remember the tremendous athletes who carried the Sandow trophy home to their crowded mantels.
